    Where can I learn more about this? Recommend any books or any techniques? I’d love to learn more about power structures, and people in power.

    In workplaces, I’ve seen people put themselves into positions of power, get roles their not qualified for, and influence managers to dislike people. Office politics.

      There are a lot of historical books on various topics; i feel like a good spot is to pick an era and dive in.

      Also, everything is politics, especially office work. Part of the purpose of college wasn’t just to get people to gain knowledge, but to work up Bloom’s Taxonomy by applying knowledge learned and analyzing it. Reading books might get you knowledge and maybe comprehension, but the value is in those higher levels.
